Granted, "win out" doesn't seem likely but it's not impossible. We are 2-1 in conference (ND doesn't count, neither do style points). UW, UO, and WSU also have one loss. We have the head to head tie breaker over UO. If we win out, that's all we'll need, as we'll give UW and WSU a second loss. Note, though, that if beat UW and WSU and lose only one more game, all we need is a UO loss to have the tie breaker among the not more than 4 North teams with two losses. And UW has some tough road games coming up - at WSU, at UA, at Utah.
This sucker isn't over yet. (IF we can find an offensive line.)
Note, we controlled our destiny even before Oregon beat Washington.
Here is the interesting thing... WSU and Stanford are the only teams in the North who control their own destiny. Oregon would need to win out and have us lose at least one more game, while Washington would need to win out and hope Oregon loses at least one more game.
There will be a lot more clarity in the next three weeks weeks.
WSU plays Oregon (at home) and at Stanford
Stanford plays WSU and then at UW (after ASU)
UW will host Stanford
And if things are still unsettled after that, WSU hosts UW in the last week of the season
